Most unusual celebrity baby names: Y, Gravity, Pilot Inspektor and more

surprise! Kylie Jenner has revealed her baby boy’s name: Aire. Initially, Jenner and Travis Scott called him a “wolf” — however, a month later, the pair revealed they had reconsidered their choice. “We don’t really feel like that’s him,” Jenner wrote on Instagram Stories.

“Al”, meaning “Lion of God”, is an unusual name. When it comes to their children, however, celebrities often go for the one-of-a-kind: Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherie Seaborne, who named their newborn daughter Lyra Antarctica, or Scarlett Cosmo, son of Johnson and Colin Jost. Then there are the children magically bestowed by Elon Musk and Grimes: a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, whom they call “Y,” and their son, X Æ A-Xii, who goes by the name “X.”

Here we review over 12 the most surprising celebrity baby names. Some are quirky and cute—Kal-El and Pilot Inspektor come to mind—and others are downright sweet and refreshing. You might even find some inspiration for your own children.
